Cup Winner Gives
Class Tennis Tips
Tennis student* who have pre-
viously played tennis using the
wrong techniques are u problem
t the coach, members of a North
Texas special problems class were
told last week.
The pleasant, poised speaker,
whom many would not recognize
us u former top amateur tennis
player, was Tut Bartzen, now
with the Colonial Country Club
in Dallas.
Bartzen, a Davis Cup winner,
also lias several first-place tro-
phies from the National Clay
Courts tournament.
He told the class, which con-
M«ts primarily of coaches, that
problem players' techniques have
to be torn down and rebuilt along
correct lines.
Beginners, he said, are started
by letting them bounce the ball
on the court with the tennis rack-
et. A good player will bounce the
ball about ISO times a minute,
he said, while others will bounce
it about 90 times a minute.
Afterward, he lets them hit the
ball into the air, bouncing it off
the racket over and over. Then
they do the same, only this time
switching sides of the racket to
develop wrist and forearm con-
trol.
Another basic exercise he rec-
ommends is hitting the ball as it
lies still on the court so that it
pops into the air and can be picked
up with the racket.
"SHARK HANDS" CiUIl1
For the forehand stroke in ten-
git, Bartzen recommends the East-
ern or "shake hands" grip. The
handle of the racket should be
grasped just as if one were shak-
ing hands with it.
He said this grip is good for a
variety of shots and can be han-
dled effectively on courts with dif-
ferent surfaces.
"Basically a stroke is composed
of a swing, a point of contact
and a follow-through," Bartzen
told the class. He explained that
the stroke covers a 180 degree arc
with the point of contact at the
half-way mark.

Pop' Noah Will Enter
Coaches Hall of Fame
Track Coach Winton E. (Pop)
Noah will be inducted into the
Texas Coaches' Association Hall
of Fame when the association
holds its annual convention in
Lubbock next week.
Along with three other Texas
high school coaches, Noah will
receive the award during the
30th Annual Coaching School
Clinic Tuesday through Satur-
day.
The six other NTSU coaches
will attend the clinic with Noah.
The five-day program includes
meetings and lectures by sports
authorities from throughout the
state.
MOST OF THE 70 members
of two physical education spec-
ial problems classes here will
also attend the clinic.
Noah will be given the asso-
ciation honors for his coaching
work at Oak Cliff High School
(now Adamson High School) in
Dallas. During his 20 years as
track coach there, Noah led his
team to 11 district champion-
ships.
He has been track coach here
at North Texas since the fall
of 1947.
The highlight of his career
came in 1900 when he accom-
panied NTSU pole vaulter David
Clark to the Rome Olympics.

rebounds, Hurtzen said, there ate
three points at which to hit it,
depending on how good the player
is—Immediately after the rebound,
at the height at the rebound, or
when the ball starts to drop.
The better players will hit the
ball immediately after the re-
bound and the more inexperienced
ones will wait until the ball starts
to fall.
"Tennis is a game where speed
is basically an asset, just like any
sport," he said.
The beginner'* stance should be
parallel to the intended flight of
the ball. This applies to the back-
hand and the forehand, he said.
The forehand and backhand
should be flat with little topspin
on the ball for the forehand, Bart-
zen said.
However, Bartzen does not con-
sider the forehand and backhand
as important as the serve.
A good player, he said, will put
the opponent on the defensive and i
stay on the offensive with a strong
service.
THROWING THE BALL
But to serve well, he explained,
a player should know how to
throw the ball in order to hit it
with his racket. It should be
thrown in the snme place each
time and be hit with the racket
as it stops going up.
The ball should be met over and
slightly in front of the hitting
shoulder, he said. As one arm goes
up with the ball the other goes
up with the racket to serve the
ball.
The secret of the serve, he said,
is reach. A player has more safe-
ty when the ball goes over the
net if he has greater height to
start with, Bartzen explained. Pan-
cho Gonzales and Jack Kranjer,
professional tennis players, have
that height, he said.
Says Dumas Football Coach

Four Plan Mexican Journey
230 Miles on Horseback
Shortly after he receives his di-
ploma in August, a North Texas
student will begin a trip on horse-
back that will carry him through
230 miles of sparsely populated
Mexican ranch land.
Jack Byrd, a production manage-
ment major from Sweetwater, and
three companions will leave Presi-
dio by train in late August headed
for Chihuahua, Mexico. From this
city they will begin an 18-day trip
along the Conchos River to the
point where it joins the Rio
Grande near Presidio.
liyrd's comrades in the venture
will be a spring NTSU graduate,
Bob Cherry; his brother, Ben Cher-
ry of Kerrnlt, who will be a junior
here this fall; and a friend, Carl
Morris from Sweetwater.
The four will hunt and fish
along the Conchos, noted for its
good fishing. The area adjoining
the river abounds with deer and
black bear, and cougars roam the
sector.
Upon their arrival at Chihua-
hua, the travelers plan to spend
three or four days rounding up
provisions and horses for the
journey back to Texas. The Chi-

'POP' NOAH
... to enter Hall of Fame
CLARK, WHOM NOAH called
"the best pole vaulter we have
ever had at North Texas," is
I the only Olympic athlete NTSU
has ever produced.
Noah has also coached such
athletes as John Spencer, Rich-
ard Menchaca, John Cooper and
Jim Blassingame, who combined
to become the No. 1 two-mile
relay team in the United States
in 1900.
Others receiving Hall of Fame
honors will be Raymond Berry
of Paris High School, Blair
Cherry of Amarillo High School
and Raymond Mattingly of
South Oak Cliff High School in
Dallas.

MVC Officials To Tighten
Reins on Breaking of Rules
Rules against striking a blow
with the forearm and piling on
will be watched more carefully by
Missouri Valley Conference offi-
cials during the 1902 football sea-
son.
Coach Fred McCain, who at-
tended an MVC meeting last week-
end at Kansas City, Mo., said that
injuries resulting from infraction
of these rules have caused concern
among coaches and officials in the
conference.
Another rule that will receive
close observation this coming sea-
son is the 25-second count. Offi-
cials feel that the breaking of this
rule tends to unnecessarily delay
football contests.
Coach McCain explained that
decisions on what kind of football
will he used in night games, what
portion of the field will be used
in pregame warm-up and coach-
official discussions during garner
were made at the meeting to avoid
misunderstandings during confer-
ence competition.

American League on Top
The American League protected
its over-all lead in the All-Star
baseball series with the National
League Monday when it came out
ahead with a 9-4 score for the
game.
This brought the total count
for games to 17-15-1, putting the
American League two games
ahead. A National League victory
woulil have tied the series up.

Iiuahua Chamber of Commerce no-
tifed Byrd that horses may be ob-
tained from ranches in the sur-
rounding area.
The Mexican consul in Dallas
provided information on laws and
requirements of the Mexican gov-
ernment and help in obtaining per-
mission to cross ranches in Mexi-
co. Byrd explained that the party
would cross only live ranches in
230 miles.
The route is primitive, with few
roads and other signs of civiliza-
tion, Although Morris has flown
over the area, none of the four
sportsmen is familiar with the
route. Iiyrd said that trails along
the Conchos would be used and
that the river itself would serve
as a guide.

problems class how he did it.
"We just try to knock their
heads off," he said simply, speak-
ing about his opponents.
BARTLETT H AS a way to con-
dition his men for the type of foot-
ball he intends to play.
He gathers his linemen at one
end of the practice field and holds
blocking drill. There, the beef of
the team charge at one another
with every intention of breaking
the other fellow into little pieces.
"We're not gentle," Martlet', said.
"Then," he continued, "when we
have a back whose head is getting
a little big for his helmet, we put
him up against a guard in block-
ing drill.
"Not many backs can take a
guard," he said, "but if he does,
then we put him up against a tac-
kle. We've never had a hack beat
a tackle."
BARTLKTT SAID that whereas
this drill "is not one of their fav-
orites," the experience is good for
a back. It makes him work hard-
er.
"Sometimes," Bartlett said,
"they will come back u little em-
barrassed from their ordeal and
say, 'Maybe we are a bunch of
sissies like the linemen say.' Then
they bear down."
Compared with aforementioned
noggin-knocking practices, scrim-
maging in shorts and tennis shoes
may seem rather tame. Bartlett
says no.
"We run those scrimmages full-
tilt, just like we would during a
regular game, except we don't
tackle. We get a good share of
split ears, broken noses and col-
lar bones out of this."
ONLY A PORTION of the team
is used for one of Bartlett's defen-
sive drills.
For plays carrying inside the
tackle position, he pits three de-
fensive men against four backs
and three offensive linemen. For
plays carrying outside tackle, he
uses four defensive men against
nine offensive men.
"The defenders should be able
to stop any running plays," Bart-
lett suid.
In addition to the more hazard-
ous duties of a football player,
Bartlett explained offensive pass
patterns, pass defense drills and
general defensive procedures of
both backs and linemen.
As a tip to the coaches in the
class, Bartlett suggested making
use of a check list.
"We make out a list," he ex-
plained, "of all phases of foot-
ball drill, Kach day we check those
phases which we practiced that
day. At the end of the week, if we
see that one item has only one or
two checks beside it, then we
know we have been neglecting it."

Study Stops
Recently a North Texas chem-
istry instructor was conducting
an experiment in one of his
classes. In the experiment, car-
bon and hydrochloric acid were
to be mixed and the mixture
was supposed to rise and pro-
duce a filmy substance.
"We shall note very careful-
ly the effects of this experi-
ment," the teacher said, add.
ing, "We'll probably have to stay
a few minutes after the bell
rings." At that moment the mix-
ture exploded, producing a mass
of black smoke but 110 damage
or injuries.
Amid the coughing, choking
and suppressed laughter, the in-
structor's voice was barely audi-
ble as he said, "Class dismissed."
